Eggplante offers up an opinion as to how Nintendo should release the Switch Basic and Switch Pro this year, with some interesting hardware changes and a way to get the console easily below $199.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse

I would be more than willing to grab a $199 Switch. It would be cool if they let you buy the dock separately. The only thing I would really want to see from them is better battery life and expanded storeage. It looks like the Tegra X2 is a better, cheaper tech that will increase battery life. It seems like a no brainier to wait and see what they do. There is simply no way that all the rumors aren't pointing to something. Even a 250GB drive would increase my interest in the device 10 fold.
I would be all over a Basic model
Attached joycons, no dock handheld @199 the standard current machine (phase out over time)@249 and the pro with larger screen displaying 1080 (portable) using the newer chipset @299
From 4gb ram to 8gb ram sounds ok for the switch but i dont see nintendo doing that probably be around 6gb ram for Nintendo switch pro
Nintendo isnt going to start listening to random bloggers, if they did they would have never made the switch in the first place.
